July 4, 201511 yr I ought to add, that sat on the same table with me last night was former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, who kept muttering something about launching a fresh set of crusades.* *....or he might have said something less sensational about battling a warped ideology.
July 4, 201511 yr Warped ideology? Religion y'mean? Odd comment from a cleric...I wouldn't mind being killed by a smackrat or a sexually frustrated and socially inept muslim cretin, it'd certainly liven life up (and prove me wrong, that any such occurence is miniscule in probability)...
July 4, 201511 yr Aye, it's a progressive religion which embraces emancipation and freedom of thought. And in this country is say the same not just globally. And no, I've seen shit in other countries away from the Middle East which tells me different to your view. Actually, get yourself to areas of Yorkshire even i drove through prestwich friday dinner backward religious folks on display women walking 30 yards behind their blokes sporting fooking ridiculous sideboards proper classy Edited July 4, 201511 yr by Casino
July 4, 201511 yr i drove through prestwich friday dinner backward religious folks on display women walking 30 yards behind their blokes sporting fooking ridiculous sideboards proper classy We are not a million miles away from them. Orthodox Jewish women shave their heads and so does every Boltonian male over 30.
July 4, 201511 yr Maybe just have a limb whopped off then.. Aye, maybe, not my third leg tho'...Is that what that beast Rolf Harris was on about, if so, scrap my other comment, I'm not sharing a turn of phrase with that nonce...
July 4, 201511 yr I was on a flighp to Warsaw once and an Orthodox lads' school were on it, whatever the tenets of the religion, skipping meals ain't one of 'em, the teachers were huge fat feckers. Anyhow, they were checking loads of bedding; duvets, sheet, pillows-what's that all about?
July 4, 201511 yr i drove through prestwich friday dinner backward religious folks on display women walking 30 yards behind their blokes sporting fooking ridiculous sideboards proper classy And that's fucked up too. Are we playing which religion is the most backward? They can all fuck off for me.
July 5, 201511 yr And that's fucked up too. Are we playing which religion is the most backward? They can all fuck off for me. but they aren't all going to fuck off are they, in fact none of them are. even if you're not religious, you will have some form of moral compass that comes from religious teaching, and in this respect, none of the religions are far apart, including Islam.
July 5, 201511 yr So are you saying I shouldn't kill some fucker because the bible says I shouldn't out because it's morally wrong?
July 5, 201511 yr i drove through prestwich friday dinner backward religious folks on display women walking 30 yards behind their blokes sporting fooking ridiculous sideboards proper classy You wanna go and stroll round Mea Shearim in Jerusalem. It might as well be on the fucking moon. From 2015 to about 1250 in half a dozen steps. I haven't stood out as much since cheering a Saints try in the Wigan end at the 2010 grand final. even if you're not religious, you will have some form of moral compass that comes from religious teaching, Quite a claim that we'd all be murdering robbing and raping each other if we didn't have religion to thank.
July 5, 201511 yr That's what fucked the Romans up. They were fine till that bearded fella came along and spoiled the fun. No wonder they nailed him to some sticks and stuff. Edited July 5, 201511 yr by Smiffs
July 5, 201511 yr I like the thought that religion solely drives these loons. Yes I'm sure that without religion these terrorists and what not. Religion probably does about 98% good compared to bad.
July 5, 201511 yr The amount of charity and money raised is huge across the world from all types of religion. It gives a lot of people a good moral compass to work off and I find people of religion can be extremely generous. Don't get me wrong, I know they have their issues and odd thoughts on certain things but I think people have take on board the good religion does when discussing these matters.

July 5, 201511 yr Catholic church has hundreds of billions in gold cash and investment whilst it's people in Africa starve.
July 5, 201511 yr Catholic church has hundreds of billions in gold cash and investment whilst it's people in Africa starve. I've driven through ghettos in other countries where they're living under tarpaulins but their local place of worship within these ghettos looks like a palace. My moral compass always finds that more strange. Their kids go to schools paid for by the capitalist bastards who exploit them in factories too.
July 5, 201511 yr Catholic church has hundreds of billions in gold cash and investment whilst it's people in Africa starve.But a lot of money is raised by the Catholic church for Africa. Both our statements will be true and while I concur that religions aren't all singing and dancing, I still agree they do a lot of good.
July 5, 201511 yr To quote Family Guy, the Amish prove just how weird organised religion is : "Dear Amish Lord: Please make us humble and deliver us more hardship-that we may get thick calloused hands, much larger than other peoples; and grant that we become dull, like Eric Bana-who we have never seen but are just going by reputation-because it is your will. We solemnly believe that although humans have been around for a million years, you feel strongly that they had just the right amount of technology between 1835 and 1850-not too little, not too much. Please deliver us from Thomas Edison, the worst human being who ever lived, and protect us from those who laugh at our buggies or our hats. And deliver us from mustaches. Amen.
July 5, 201511 yr I like the thought that religion solely drives these loons. Yes I'm sure that without religion these terrorists and what not. Religion probably does about 98% good compared to bad.sorry pal think 98% is way way off the mark
July 5, 201511 yr sorry pal think 98% is way way off the markHaha maybe you're right. It's certainly in the upper echelons though.
July 5, 201511 yr They'll have the last laugh when it goes tits up and they're swanning around in a buggy eating home-churned butter on homebaked bread and shagging young Kelly McGillis, whilst the likes of you are eating rats and worshipping a mobile phone mast.
July 5, 201511 yr The amount of charity and money raised is huge across the world from all types of religion. It gives a lot of people a good moral compass to work off and I find people of religion can be extremely generous. Name one good or charitable act which you have to be religious to carry out. The opposite question works just as well - name an evil act which only the religious could carry out. You've probably already thought of half a dozen. By the time I've finished typing this sentence someone will have been blown up or beheaded or had their clitoris sliced off as a result of religious morality somewhere in the world. And even if it were true, it says nothing about whether or not god exists.
